Talk about aluminum in the field of construction and their use has been dated back since 1920s. Even though the methods and technologies in construction have changed, importance of aluminum in construction has not degraded. Aluminum has some of the most unique properties that make it an undisputable natural partner for the construction and building industry. Over the past 50 years, aluminum panels have been considered vital products for building industry and the use of aluminum in different forms has been growing consistently and continuously.

Survey speak

According to a report from the Aluminum Trade Associations, almost over 20% of the total aluminum production globally has now been consumed by construction industry. These days, very rarely, we see buildings that haven’t used aluminum components in any form. Top surveys for the building and construction industry suggest that aluminum is gradually leading its way into the promising future of buildings and construction industry.

Aluminum panels in construction

Aluminum panels in construction have always been considered to be a wise choice because it represents low weight, higher strength, super flexibility, great design and low cost. Such benefits make aluminum most preferred in construction work.

Aluminum panels in refurbishment work

We are fortunate to have aluminum that can be used for refurbishment of old buildings which is a great idea as compared to its demolishing any day. Aluminum panels are lot more preferred for refurbishment because they are not just thermally efficient, light, highly cost effective but also hugely durable. Aluminum panels are capable of completely changing both external and internal appearance of any old building or property.

Creative design with Aluminum

Airport terminals, office towers, residential buildings – talk about it and aluminum panels are used everywhere. Aluminum panels also offer scope for creative designs and architecture and just like your skin protects your body, so does aluminum to the buildings made using them. They are a boon for the people working in such buildings as they are capable of keeping away cold, heat, noise and rain. Aluminum is an important element used in supporting structure and they are perfect for even large surfaces. They are also capable of supporting high-rise buildings and have proven their worth for various support purposes.

How sustainable is Aluminum?

Sustainability and supply with regard to aluminum is not an issue. Good thing with aluminum is that it can be recycled and this is done without any major degradation of the intrinsic properties of materials. In terms of recycling, aluminum’s case is comparatively stronger. It should be added that apart from being the third most abundant element present on the surface of earth, it is also an element that can be recycled without losing a bit on quality thus saving money.

Requirements for easy to maintain, flexible and low cost-in-use buildings increase and with this, rises the demand for aluminum in construction and structural applications. They are capable of offering the most satisfying and elegant design solutions.
